Past Events and Resources

Baba gave the first Prabhata Samgiita song, “Bandhu he Niye Calo” September 14, 1982 in Deoghar and continued composing more and more songs until October 20, 1990. Those 5018 songs are so beautiful and give lyrical and musical expression of the deepest spiritual feelings that we can experience in our meditation and daily life. We should treasure the Prabhata Samgiita songs and sing more and more.

This September 14, 2017 will mark 35 years since Baba composed the first song. We will celebrate this day on Thursday Sept 14 where by singing one hour (or more) of Prabhata Samgiita and enjoy the spiritual vibration of the songs. If you want to sing your favorite song, please email me the number and name of the song so that I can prepare the lyrics.

Prabhata Samgiita Day, September 14, 2016 was celebrated at Ananda Marga Yoga and Meditation Center in New York with two hours of singing of Prabhata Samgiita, followed by Dharma Cakra and dinner. Prabháta Samgiita is a collection of 5018 songs that Shrii Shrii Anandamurti composed. He composed the first song “Bandhu He Niye Calo” on September 14, 1982 in Deoghar, India and then continued adding songs to the collection until the penultimate day of his life, more than eight years later. Prabháta means ‘dawn’, signifying the dawn of a new era of human history. The songs are devotional in nature and describe the feelings of the spiritual aspirants in their deepest meditation and their spiritual realizations, feelings of joy, bliss and pain of separation from the Lord.
During the event, as the Margiis, Dadas, and Didi continued singing the Prabhata Samgiita songs, gradually the devotional feelings increased. Singing those beautiful devotional songs helped us to enrich our meditation and bring the mind to a realm of mysticism and love for the Supreme, ever present in every aspects of our life.

Quote from Shrii Shrii Anandamurti – Founder of Ananda Marga

"To attain Him human beings have to take recourse to shravana (constantly hearing His name), manana (constantly ideating on Him) and nididya'sana (constantly meditating on Him). The Supreme Entity is Gurha, that is, He is lying hidden in the innermost recess of the human entity. To attain Him one must penetrate deep within oneself, and for that the development of an introversial outlook is essential."
